Best thing you can do to avoid fuel getting old and gooey is avoid fuel getting old.

Like I said I took the carbs off cleaned them , sealed the tank , so the fuel isn't that old and was super unleaded so the best that could be done was done ...but the fingers crossed attitude after the tank dumped it's gunge in the float bowls before it was sealed is at fault here . :cry:
Crossing ones fingers an fitting new float needles is no substitute for doing the job properly! :oops:
That's you are all thinking , but to polite to say :lol:

If you want to give 'em a go matey ....they are off the bike, one of the float bowls had a residue that looked like goo balls in it ...the others were OK ....the filters seemed OK .but the pilot screws and air mixture screws seem stuck .

All the float and main jets were new and never run in earnest .
i'll pop in and collect them this week sometime. im round your way on friday daytime?
